Virb Edit 4.1.0 CPU usage is ridiculus!! this must be fixed

I updated Virb Edit couple days ago, and since then, there is this ridiculous "optimization" thing that consumes incredible amounts of time, but the worst is that editing a video is next to impossible now. With optimized videos (or not, happens to both), just by hoovering the mouse over the video causes the cpu to go to 100% for several minutes at a time, sometimes 1 or 2 minutes other times more than 10 minutes.

This also happens every time I use "SPLIT" or I click on the TRANSITIONS and every click I have to wait minutes and minutes and minutes for the CPU to calm down, because Virb Edit is unresponsive while this happens.
Unresponsive is not about windows complaining this application is not responding anymore, it's Virb Edit that is just doing something that consume the entire CPU, takes immense amount of time and I cannot do anything with it until it's finished.

I already uninstalled and reinstalled and did not change anything. I am currently TRYING to do a video composed of several video files recorded in different bicycle rides and I just noticed that I barely did any progress at all and I been working on this for more than 4 days now ... On the older versions, pre-dual camera support versions, this did not happen, used to take me no more than 30mnts to edit a video from start to finish and ready to export.

please see the screenshot I took:

    I am very sorry this is such a pain, but I am very happy you got it sorted out. Video drivers are quite finicky (the AMD ones especially, it seems like), that's something we are continuously work on.

    Video editing is one of the most processing intensive operations PCs can perform. We are spending a lot of our time on improving performance, but there's no magic bullet. Editing video will always require a lot of horse power.
